Review of The Jackson MacKenzie Chronicles
Posted: 13 Nov 2022, 13:29
[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "The Jackson MacKenzie Chronicles" by Angel Giacomo.]
We all hear about wars, but some of us haven't experienced them. The Vietnam War is one of the most discussed. And we hear stories about people who fought, died, and survived. Mackenzie is one of those who survived; now let's talk about his story.
The Jackson Mackenzie Chronicle by Angel Giacomo tells us the story of Mackenzie. Mackenzie was born into a family that had a tradition of serving the country, so he had to join the USA army. He went to several wars; his first was the Korean War, and the second was the Vietnam War. He survived those wars but was left with pain and the trauma of seeing people die, so he was bent on helping humanity. He was sent on a secret mission by his superiors to go to Hanoi and recover an original artwork that North Vietnam was selling on the black market to finance its combat and guerrilla operations and replace it with forgeries. So to stop the war, he and his team were sent. Do you think he survived it? What if he was betrayed? What if he came out alive? What if he died? Read on to find out.
I couldn't get enough of this book. I love everything about it. I was so eager to know what happened next. The action parts made me scream a little; it felt like I was in a movie. The author did thorough research before writing this because it feels so real. One thing I love about this book is that it is part of a series but stands alone as a book on its own that readers can understand even without knowing about the series. I don't love war books because I get so tense reading them, but after reading reviews about this one, I decided to give it a try, and all I can say is that it's worth everything I put into reading it: my time, my sleep, my chores. I'm so happy I read this piece. I cried and I laughed, I smiled, I shouted, and I was curious, but I guess that's the difference between an award-winning novel and any other novel.
There was nothing to hate about the books. It was exceptionally well edited. I love how the author made it different from every other war book. I was reluctant to read it, but after reading the first page, I didn't stop until I finished. I love how he made it very real; one could tell how things happened clearly. I learned a lot of things about the ranks in the army that I didn't know before. I knew this book was going to make sense when the letter was sent to Colonel Johnson. I felt bad about it, but I guess that's one of the things that makes an interesting book interesting. I must commend the author for writing such an engaging book, and I look forward to reading more books written by him.
I rate it 4 out of 4 stars because I didn't see any errors and I enjoyed reading it. I recommend it to those who love historical fiction and war books.
